Holtby made his Fulham debut in their 3-0 home defeat to Southampton last week, and the midfielder believes regular first-team football could see him force his way into Germany coach Joachim Low's plans.

"I reviewed my season at Spurs and checked how many games I had played recently and I'm a player who wants to play," Holtby told reporters.

"I'm hungry for games, especially in the Premier League - that's what I came here for.

"It's a great opportunity for me now at Fulham to get these games and get the full trust of the gaffer, Mr Meulensteen and show my abilities and what I can do and maybe slot into the Germany side too, somehow, to get my confidence running.

"I want to show the Premier League and all the pundits what I can do week in, week out on the pitch. To stay in London was perfect, everything felt right from the start.

"I will try and show people what I can do and hopefully the German national team as well."

Fulham sit bottom of the Premier League ahead of their game at Old Trafford, having lost four successive top-flight games.
